Instructions for Occupying Canaan
50 The Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, 51 ‘Tell the Israelites: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52 you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you, destroy all their stone images(AF) and cast images,(AG) and demolish all their high places. 53 You are to take possession of the land and settle in it because I have given you the land(AH) to possess. 54 You are to receive the land as an inheritance by lot according to your clans. Increase the inheritance for a large clan and decrease it for a small one. Whatever place the lot indicates for someone will be his. You will receive an inheritance according to your ancestral tribes. 55 But if you don’t drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become barbs for your eyes and thorns for your sides; they will harass you in the land where you will live. 56 And what I had planned to do to them, I will do to you.’(AI)

Recounting Israel's Journey
33 These are the stages of the people of Israel, when they went out of the land of Egypt by their companies under the leadership of Moses and Aaron. 2 Moses wrote down their starting places, (A)stage by stage, by command of the Lord, and these are their stages according to their starting places. 3 They (B)set out from Rameses in (C)the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the day after the Passover, the people of Israel went out (D)triumphantly in the sight of all the Egyptians, 4 while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, (E)whom the Lord had struck down among them. (F)On their gods also the Lord executed judgments.
5 So the people of Israel set out from Rameses and camped at (G)Succoth. 6 And they set out from Succoth and camped at (H)Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness. 7 And they set out from Etham and turned back to (I)Pi-hahiroth, which is east of Baal-zephon, and they camped before Migdol. 8 And they set out from before Hahiroth[a] and (J)passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and they (K)went a three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham and camped at Marah. 9 And they set out from Marah and came to (L)Elim; at Elim there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there. 10 And they set out from Elim and camped by the Red Sea. 11 And they set out from the Red Sea and camped in (M)the wilderness of Sin. 12 And they set out from the wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophkah. 13 And they set out from Dophkah and camped at Alush. 14 And they set out from Alush and camped at (N)Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink. 15 And they set out from Rephidim and camped in the (O)wilderness of Sinai. 16 And they set out from the wilderness of Sinai and camped at (P)Kibroth-hattaavah. 17 And they set out from Kibroth-hattaavah and camped at (Q)Hazeroth. 18 And they (R)set out from Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah. 19 And they set out from Rithmah and camped at Rimmon-perez. 20 And they set out from Rimmon-perez and camped at Libnah. 21 And they set out from Libnah and camped at Rissah. 22 And they set out from Rissah and camped at Kehelathah. 23 And they set out from Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher. 24 And they set out from Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah. 25 And they set out from Haradah and camped at Makheloth. 26 And they set out from Makheloth and camped at Tahath. 27 And they set out from Tahath and camped at Terah. 28 And they set out from Terah and camped at Mithkah. 29 And they set out from Mithkah and camped at Hashmonah. 30 And they set out from Hashmonah and camped at Moseroth. 31 And they set out from Moseroth and camped at (S)Bene-jaakan. 32 And they set out from Bene-jaakan and camped at (T)Hor-haggidgad. 33 And they set out from Hor-haggidgad and camped at (U)Jotbathah. 34 And they set out from Jotbathah and camped at Abronah. 35 And they set out from Abronah and camped at (V)Ezion-geber. 36 And they set out from Ezion-geber and camped in the (W)wilderness of Zin (that is, Kadesh). 37 And they set out from (X)Kadesh and camped at (Y)Mount Hor, on the edge of the land of Edom.
38 And Aaron the priest went up (Z)Mount Hor at the command of the Lord and died there, in the fortieth year after the people of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, on the first day of the fifth month. 39 And Aaron was (AA)123 years old when he died on Mount Hor.
40 And (AB)the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negeb in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the people of Israel.
41 And they set out from Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah. 42 And they set out from Zalmonah and camped at Punon. 43 And they set out from Punon and camped at (AC)Oboth. 44 And they set out from Oboth and camped at (AD)Iye-abarim, in the territory of Moab. 45 And they set out from Iyim and camped at (AE)Dibon-gad. 46 And they set out from Dibon-gad and camped at Almon-diblathaim. 47 And they set out from Almon-diblathaim (AF)and camped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 48 And they set out from the mountains of Abarim and camped in (AG)the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho; 49 they camped by the Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth as far as (AH)Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.
Drive Out the Inhabitants
50 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 51 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, (AI)When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52 then (AJ)you shall drive out (AK)all the inhabitants of the land from before you and destroy all their (AL)figured stones and destroy all their metal images and demolish all their high places. 53 And you shall take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it. 54 (AM)You shall inherit the land by lot according to your clans. (AN)To a large tribe you shall give a large inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a small inheritance. Wherever the lot falls for anyone, that shall be his. According to the tribes of your fathers you shall inherit. 55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those of them whom you let remain shall be as (AO)barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land where you dwell. 56 And I will do to you (AP)as I thought to do to them.”

33 8 Two and forty journeys of Israel are numbered. 52 They are commanded to kill the Canaanites.
1 These are the [a]journeys of the children of Israel, which went out of the land of Egypt, according to their bands under the hand of Moses and Aaron.
2 And Moses wrote their going out by their journeys, according to the commandment of the Lord: so these are the journeys of their going out.
3 Now they (A)departed from Rameses the first month, even the fifteenth day of the first month, on the morrow after the Passover: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
4 (For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the Lord had smitten among them: upon their [b]gods also the Lord did execution.)
5 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
6 And they departed from (B)Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.
7 And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto [c]Pi Hahiroth, which is before Baal Zephon, and pitched before Migdol.
8 And they departed from before Hahiroth, and (C)went through the midst of the Sea into the wilderness, and went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
9 And they removed from Marah, and came unto (D)Elim, and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees, and they pitched there.
10 And they removed from Elim, and camped by the red sea.
11 And they removed from the red Sea, and lay in the (E)wilderness of Sin.
12 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and set up their tents in Dophkah.
13 And they departed from Dophkah, and lay in Alush.
14 And they removed from Alush, and lay in (F)Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.
15 And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the (G)wilderness of Sinai.
16 And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched in (H)Kibroth Hattaavah.
17 And they departed from Kibroth Hattaavah, and lay at (I)Hazeroth.
18 And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
19 And they departed from (J)Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon Perez.
20 And they departed from Rimmon Perez, and pitched in Libnah.
21 And they removed from Libnah, and pitched in Rissah.
22 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
23 And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shepher.
24 And they removed from mount Shepher, and lay in Haradah.
25 And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
26 And they removed from Makheloth, and lay in Tahath.
27 And they departed from Tahath, and pitched in Terah.
28 And they removed from Terah, and pitched in Mithkah.
29 And they went from Mithkah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
30 And they departed from Hashmonah, and lay in Moseroth.
31 And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene Jaakan.
32 And they removed from Bene Jaakan, and lay in Hor Hagidgad.
33 And they went from Hor Hagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
34 And they removed from Jotbathah, and lay in Abronah.
35 And they departed from Abronah, and lay in Ezion Geber.
36 And they removed from Ezion Geber, and pitched in the (K)wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
37 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
38 ((L)And Aaron the Priest went up into mount Hor, at the commandment of the Lord and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the [d]fifth month.
39 And Aaron was an hundred and three and twenty years old, when he died in mount Hor.)
40 And (M)King Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the South of the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
41 And they departed from mount (N)Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
42 And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
43 And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
44 (O)And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ije Abarim, in the borders of Moab.
45 And they departed from Ijim, and pitched in Dibon Gad.
46 And they removed from Dibon Gad, and lay in Almon Diblathaim.
47 And they removed from Almon Diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim before Nebo.
48 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the [e]plain of Moab by Jordan toward Jericho.
49 And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth Jesimoth unto (P)Abel Shittim, in the plain of Moab.
50 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses in the plain of Moab, by Jordan toward Jericho, saying,
51 ¶ Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, (Q)When ye are come over Jordan to enter into the land of Canaan,
52 Ye shall then drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you, and destroy all their [f]pictures, and break asunder all their images of metal, and pluck down all their high places,
53 And ye shall possess the land and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
54 And ye shall inherit the land by lot, according to your families: (R)to the more ye shall give more inheritance, and to the fewer the less inheritance. Where the lot shall fall to any man, that shall be his: according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye inherit.
55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, then those which ye let remain of them, shall be (S)[g]pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
56 Moreover, it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
